Senior AI Product Manager

Job Title: Senior AI Product Manager
- Full Time

Location: Mountain View, CA


Company: Baidu USA

About the Role:
We are seeking a visionary Senior AI Product Manager with deep expertise in generative AI technologies to lead the development of cutting-edge consumer AI products. You will drive the strategy, design, and execution of AI-powered features and products (e.g., AI search, AI agent, chatbots, content generation apps) that deliver transformative user experiences for our US customer based mobile consumer apps. This role requires a technical understanding of generative AI’s capabilities, a passion for innovation, and the ability to translate complex AI frameworks into intuitive, user-centric solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify opportunities to combine generative AI to enhance user value (e.g., personalized recommendations, dynamic content synthesis, AI agent for specific tasks, query understanding).
• Stay ahead of industry trends, frameworks and mechanisms to ensure our products leverage state-of-the-art AI capabilities.
• Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for generative AI-driven features and products (e.g., AI search engines, chatbots, image/video generation tools).
• Collaborate with AI researchers, engineers, and designers to define technical feasibility and align product goals with the latest advancements in generative AI (e.g., LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini; diffusion models like Stable Diffusion, DALL-E).
• Conduct competitive analysis and user research to prioritize features that solve real-world problems (e.g., reducing latency in AI chatbots, improving multimodal output quality).
• Define clear metrics to evaluate AI performance (e.g., accuracy, hallucination rates, user engagement) and iterate based on data-driven insights.
• Communicate complex AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders and advocate for ethical, safe, and scalable AI implementations.
  
  

Qualifications

• Professional proficiency in Mandarin Chinese is a must
• 2+ years of industry experience in AI product management, with a proven track record of shipping generative AI-powered products(e.g., search engines, chatbots, creative tools).
• Examples of relevant projects/work:
• Built an LLM-driven search/chatbot (e.g., ChatGPT plugins, enterprise Copilot tools).
• Designed generative media tools (e.g., image/video editors using MidJourney, RunwayML, or audio tools like ElevenLabs).
• Integrated retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) or fine-tuned models into consumer apps.
• Technical fluency in generative AI frameworks, model architectures and strong understanding of AI limitations (e.g., token constraints, bias mitigation, cost-performance tradeoffs) and ability to define guardrails for user-facing applications.
• Passion for consumer-centric AI innovation—no prior mobile app experience required, but you must thrive in fast-paced, user-first environments.
• Ability to translate research (e.g., AI agent systems, multimodal models) into actionable product roadmaps.
